Oh, just tell the truth,\*\* TP\*\*. You went a little apeshit because I wasn’t interested in responding to your needling about a niggling, unimportant side topic in a thread that didn’t concern you. Then I noticed you advising someone to stop chasing someone around a thread trying to force a reply. No, you didn’t just advise them, you flat busted a Dr. Phil cap in his ass, ironically giving the very advice you needed to take. Here’s the TLDR version:

> Doesn’t matter what anyone else would do or if she, gasp, gets away with a wrong opinion. Save your blood pressure. The only person you can control is you. And even if you keep going on and on at her like some demanding deranged monkey, that doesn’t mean she’ll answer you. Why? Because no matter how worked up you get, you can’t _make_ her do anything. So, I repeat that you ought to let it go. Otherwise, you might just turn into the board loon.

One calling her out for lying her ass off about me for which she won’t ever own up to and then the one you partially quoted with her thinking she’s being clever. That’s it. Not 476 posts spread over multiple threads. 🙂 Anyway, yes I do need to not let that splinter fester in my eye. So thanks.

Seriously, **TP** , calm down. You can’t force people to play with you, take your own advice. Probably time to change your socks anyway.
